Check the laundry care label for the required ironing temperature:

1 for silk

2 for wool

3 for cotton

MAX for linen

If you do not know what kind or kinds of fabric an article is made of, determine the right ironing

temperature by ironing a part that will not be visible when you wear or use the article.

Silk, woollen and synthetic materials: iron the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches. To

prevent stains, do not use the spray function.

Start ironing the articles that require the lowest ironing temperature, such as those made of

synthetic bres.
